Yes, if you paid sales tax. New Home Builders usually do not pay sales tax (depending on the state) since the tax is generated at time of the sale of the completed home, but if you purchased as a consumer, you probably did get charged sales tax.

That's fine. If you have the receipt showing sales tax, add it to the list!
